In 1984 the frequency was changed to 106.5 (channel 293), the station call sign was changed to KBHV, and the format was changed to adult contemporary. It became the original KBER in 1986, as the original home of KBER which moved down the dial to 101.1 in 1990, replacing contemporary jazz KDAB, and relocated its transmitter to Farnsworth Peak. With the KBER station move completed, the station was then assigned the call letters KQOL on March 20, 1990. Originally stunting by playing a mix of Adult Contemporary and Country, it officially switched to an Adult Contemporary format in November of that year. In June 1992, KQOL switched its format to all-sports 106.5 The Score. For several days they used the calls KSRE which it was found that someone had not properly filed for so they ran the format with the KQOL calls. It was Utah's first sports radio station, as well as the first in the country to broadcast on the FM band. The format lasted until September 1993, when the station adopted a country music format after it lost advertisers to AM station KISN (now KNRS (AM)).〔Loren Jorgensen, "(All-Sports Radio: KISN Makes the Jump as Stations Nationwide Focus on Sports. )", ''Deseret News'', 8 November 1993. Accessed 21 August 2015〕 The station simulcast the country music format of KMXB 107.5 (now KKLV).〔Lynn Arave, "(KMXB Pays Tribute to New DJ Who Died After 5 Days on the Job )", ''Deseret News'', 17 September 1993. Accessed 21 August 2015〕 In December 1993, the station began simulcasting the country music programming of KRGQ 1550 and KRGQ-FM 107.9.〔Lynn Arave, "(KSOP Tops Rival in a 'Most Country' Analysis )", ''Deseret News'', 8 December 1993. Accessed 14 September 2015〕 On March 1, 1994, the station changed its call sign to KUJJ, and again changed its call sign on August 22, 1995, to KBKK, known as "K-Buck". On December 31, 1997, the current call letters became KOSY.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=KOSY Call Sign History )〕 Before flipping to 106.5, KOSY was simulcast on what is now KEGH, Brigham City, Utah, to fill in the gaps created from Lake Mountain. KENZ and KKLV suffer from the same signal problems to date. Most of KOSY-FM's programming has been automated since late 2000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Broadcast History - Salt Lake City )〕 On December 21, 2012, after playing Rod Stewart's "Let it Snow", the station flipped its format to classic rock, branded as "Rock 106.5", launching with Boston's "Peace of Mind".〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=Andrew )〕 Joan Peterson, who hosted Sounds of the Sabbath on Today's 106.5 along with Laura Bedore, confirmed the change on the program's Facebook page. "Many of you may have noticed that the format for 106.5 drastically changed today to a rock station. Because of the new format, Sounds of the Sabbath will no longer be part of the station. Thank you so much for listening to us and making us one of the best shows in the Salt Lake area. Love to you all and a merry Christmas. Joan." The Sounds of the Sabbath program moved to KMGR out of Richfield UT. On March 1, 2013, KOSY-FM changed their call letters to KAAZ-FM. At 1200 hrs on 6 August 2015, KAAZ changed its broadcast frequency 106.7 FM (channel 294). The logo for the new "Rock 106.7" is already being used on the station's website.
